 Appendix A: CPC-EX 1.0 Updates
CPC-EX Version 1.0 (and above) offers the following enhancements to the 
DBS phone system:
Compatibility
CPC-EX Version 1.0 supports all features of CPC-B Version 7.1 (with the exception of 
TSAPI support). In addition, CPC-EX Version 1.0 adds support for additional features, 
including the 44-Series phones, T1 Networking, and ISDN.
The CPC-EX card can be installed into an existing DBS cabinet, with no hardware 
modifications.
CPC-EX software uses existing CPC-B programming addresses, with the same numbering. 
Additional addresses have been added for CPC-EX features.
Note:
 CPC-EX requires SCC-B.
44-Series Phone Support
CPC-EX provides full support for Panasonic’s 44-Series phones (VB-44xxx). Table 1 below 
lists all 44-Series phone models and their part numbers. Most models are available in two 
colors: gray and black.

Enhanced DBS features that can be executed on the 44-Series phones are described below:
Directory Mode
On the small-display phones, you can scroll through SSD names, PSD names, or extension 
names and select a displayed name for dialing.
Variable Mode
The small-display phones provide one-touch access to various features displayed during each 
of the following call states:  1) during an intercom call; 2) during CO dial tone; 3) during a 
trunk call; and 4) after dialing a busy extension.  
Handset Mute
The large-display phone now contains a MUTE key, and a mute feature is available on all 44-
series phones. Pressing the MUTE key during an off-hook call will block audio from the 
handset transmitter to the outside party. You can still hear them, but they can’t hear you.
Off-Hook Monitoring
If you press the ON/OFF key during an off-hook call on any 44-series speakerphone, the 
other party’s voice will be heard through both the handset and the speaker. This allows a third 
party to hear both sides of a conversation.  Note:
 This feature does not activate your phone’s 
microphone - audio will be transmitted only through your handset. 
Analog Adapter
The large-display phone can be enhanced with an analog port adapter which allows you to 
connect to an analog device such as a FAX or modem to the phone. This allows the same 
phone to be alternately used for analog or digital communications.
MSG (Message) Key
A MSG key on the large-display phone will perform Auto-Callback (automatically dialing 
the extension that sent a “Message Waiting” to your phone), or Auto-Answer Message 
(automatically dialing your voice mailbox).
DSS/72 and EM/24 - Key Arrangement
The keys on the consoles are arranged differently, affecting the text layout and default 
extension numbers assigned to these keys.

DBS-2.3/9.2-700 DBS Manual - Revised April 2000   Page A-3
FF-Key Programming
Because T1 Networking adds the capability of 4-digit extension numbering, you can now 
program up to 8 digits (not 6) into an FF-key.
Speed Dial Enhancements
CPC-EX supports up to 500 System Speed Dial (SSD) numbers. CPC-EX also allows SSD 
codes to be chained, or “linked”, to another SSD number, and either PSD or SSD codes to be 
chained to a PSD number.
Additional Serial Port
The CPC-EX card contains an on-board serial port (Serial Port 2) which can be used for Bus 
Monitor/Maintenance. This allows remote maintenance to be accomplished without 
disconnecting SMDR cabling. 
T1 Networking Capability
Up to 4 DBS’s can now be connected together via T1 interface to form a DBS phone 
network. The DBS’s can be located in the same building, in separate buildings in a campus-
type environment, or at remote locations in separate states. Networked DBS’s use 4-digit 
extensions, with the first digit of the extension number identifying the DBS site.
Each site requires its own DBS cabinet with a CPC-EX card and a T1 card. Programming 
addresses are included in CPC-EX software for setting up the T1 Network. (see the T1 
Networking Reference Manual for complete instructions.)
Modification to Toll Restriction Service
The program address for TRS Operator Access (FF7 1# 18#) has been modified to allow an 
extension to dial “0+NXX” phone numbers, even if “0-only” dialing is denied.
Maximum Time Priority Route Tables
CPC-EX allows a maximum of 8 Time Priority Route Tables (not 15) to be used during LCR 
programming. Since few systems use more than 3 Time Priority Route Tables, this change 
will allow the saved memory space to be used for future enhancements.

SMDR Modifications
SMDR reports contain several additional call types and other parameters due to CPC-EX 
support of T1 Networking and ISDN calls. 
ISDN Support
CPC-EX supports ISDN-PRI (Integrated Services Digital Network -- Primary Rate 
Interface). The program address for Trunk Circuit Type (FF2  (trunk #)#  21#) has been 
modified to allow for ISDN. Programming addresses have also been added in CPC-EX to 
support ISDN. (See the ISDN Reference Manual for complete instructions.)
Modification to T1 Signaling Types
To allow easier programming of E&M trunks, CPC-EX uses “Wink Start” (not “Immediate 
Start”) as the default for T1 Incoming and Outgoing Signal Types.
Installation Notes
CPC-EX Installation
Use normal installation procedures to install the CPC-EX. The following illustration shows 
an installed CPC-EX:

The 44-Series Key Telephones are shipped with a thin green protective film over the Desi 
strip cover. Be sure to remove this film from both sides of the Desi cover before placing the 
phone in service.
Key Telephone Wall Mounting Instructions
The following procedures apply to 44-Series Key Telephones only. Please be sure to follow 
these procedures exactly. Removing the desk stand incorrectly can result in damage to the 
telephone and/or desk stand.
